Fiesta Guitars (not Fiesta Red Guitars)

Here are some pictures of my second guitar, the new-to-me, Fiesta Les paul clone. I've only seen a photo of one other Fiesta brand guitar, looks like this one only all black. The owner of that one reported that it was bought in 1975 in Hamilton Ontario. Anyone else have one of these?

I consider the guitar a garage sale find, especially as I primarily bought it for the hardshell case which fits my Junior perfectly. The guitar functions and sounds pretty good in the hands of a skilled player. I'm looking forward to learning how to make repairs and modifications.

I noticed one other thing ....your lucky! you have the orginal machine heads, mine have been replaced with Yamaha's which look more durable but "not orginal" and I have to get a new "rythem treble" plastic ring as I dont have one, and I can't believe you still have the inspection sticker on yours!

Yes,....I forget to mention "your totally right" our guitar seems to be VERY rare....Your's and buddy that has the black one are the only 2 others i've seen...your's is in the most perfect condition to orginal out of all 3 ....as mine has new machine heads and buddy that has the black one has done alot of work to his, Mine though I think is the prettiest as far as color is concerned with thick Cherry finish and ebony outline "my girlfriend say's so" haha....but the boil's down to personal choice, Well with the little info you found at least I know know that my guitar is almost 40 years old and was possibly made in Hamalton Ontario....any more info that anyone has would be great thanks.

No info here, but I would suggest not " learning repairs" on this one. I would clean it up, get a switch tip and truss rod cover, then enjoy. According to the other poster, it is old a possibly rare. I would learn on a newer cheap guitar

No matter the name, this is not a rare/collectible guitar, it's a cheap import, looks Taiwanese to me, could just as well be a Global, an Aria, a Hondo, whatever...

It is old and rare... but I don't think it's valuable.. it's just kind of cool in the way that cheap mass-produced things sometimes are.

There are only two known collectors of these department store guitars. I don't think either of us is selling even if we could double our money.

Hello friends,
i too have one "Fiesta" brand guitar. Extremely rare and extremely nice sounding. I think these were supermarket-pricerange guitars at the time. I have no idea where they sold them. I bought mine in Montreal 13 years ago in a pawn shop for 80 bucks and it was already old.

It has a mahagony neck and body. I've put a mexican tele pickup on the neck and kept the original on the bridge. Have put Wilkinson tunners and Gibson bridge things that produce very nice sustain, for difference from the original tin constraption the guitar had. Here two songs i recorded with this guitar, all the guitar layers on both songs are this guitar:
